Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragon】【ATK4500

One of Pegasus's new cards is a parody of "the three-body [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] can fuse into [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]", which is then cartoonized into the [Blue-Eyes Cartoon Ultimate Dragon]!
Moreover, its summoning method is quite trendy, "Contact Fusion," which can be Special Summoned simply by returning cards from the hand, field, or graveyard to the deck, saving one [Fusion] card.

“【Cyberdragon】, 【Red-Eyes Cyborg】, and 【Blue-Eyes Cyborg】.” Looking at the three-headed dragon that started arguing among itself after appearing on the field, Hayato curled his lip. “Red-Eyes is one thing, but Cyberdragon is a ‘dragon’ too?”

"You really should sit at the same table as Paradox."

"Seto Kaiba's [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] requires the three-body [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] as fusion material, but I'm already being very careful with just this one [Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon]. It's reasonable to be a little more lenient with the fusion material for [Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragon], right?"

Pegasus shrugged helplessly, explaining that it wasn't that he didn't want to use three Blue-Eyes Toon Dragons for fusion, but the objective conditions simply didn't allow it.

He then added, "The effect of [Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragon] is that it allows my Toon monsters to attack directly without being restricted by other conditions."

"And a Turn effect that can only be activated during my Main Phase, which adds one 'Toon' card or a card with that name from the Graveyard to my hand." Pegasus picks up a card from his Graveyard. "Now, I activate this effect to reclaim the 'Toon Catalog' from my Graveyard."

"And, the Spell Card [Toon Catalog] is activated! Add this [Toon Bookmark] to my hand from the Deck."

Pegasus can unconditionally search any Toon card's Toon Catalog, which can be activated twice. This card, which hasn't even been written once in a turn, can be searched by Pegasus's Toon Catalog if he wants.

The [Cartoon Bookmark] card that was added to his hand wasn't much better; it was also a powerful search card—that's the nature of Cartoon. Even before Pegasus's latest enhancement, it might not have many other features, but it had every search method imaginable.

“Next is this [Cartoon Bookmark]. Activate this card and add one [Cartoon World] or a card with that name from my deck to my hand.” Pegasus put down the card and took out another card from his deck. “And I will add this [Cartoon Flip] to my hand.”

“The [Cartoon Bookmark] that exists in the cemetery has the ability to destroy in place of the [Cartoon World].” Outside the arena, Jonouchi frowned. “When I played three [Harpie Girl's Feather Duster] cards in a row before, one of them was blocked by the [Cartoon Bookmark].

"With the ability of [Mind's Eye] to negate card effects, it can be said that unless Hayato can activate three cards with effect destruction capabilities in a row, and the card names are different, there is no way to destroy Pegasus's [Perfect World - Toon World]."

"Moreover, while cartoon monsters rely heavily on the 'Cartoon World' to maintain their existence, the Blue-Eyes Cartoon Ultimate Dragon and those new 'cartoon' monsters have broken free from this limitation."

The game added, "The backcourt disruption tactics that used to work against cartoons are no longer very effective against Pegasus' cartoons."

"And tactics against monsters are difficult to implement due to the powerful force of [Perfect World - Toon World]. The effect of that card is probably even difficult for Hayato's [Super Polymerization] to counter."

With a serious expression, the game judged, "Pegasus' final cartoon deck is indeed quite perfect, it's simply—"

(The title is still used as a comma)

"【Cartoon Flip】Activation desu~ Can only be activated when 【Cartoon World】exists in my field."

Pegasus put down the cards and, for what seemed like the umpteenth time, searched his deck. "I will select three 'Toon' monster cards with different names from my deck and show them to my opponent. Then, Hayato will randomly select one and Special Summon that card to my field, ignoring its summoning conditions. The rest of the cards will be returned to the deck."

Pegasus took three cards from the deck and laid them out for Hayato to see. Hayato saw that the cards were: [Toon Dark Magician], [Toon Cannon], and [Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon], which had just returned to the deck.

With [Toon Dark Magician] and [Comic Cat] used as a Toon Monster currently on Pegasus's field, if Pegasus Special Summons [Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon], he might be able to Special Summon a second [Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragon].

[Toon Dark Magician] is also not a good choice, because [Toon Dark Magician]'s effect is not limited to once per turn, nor is it required that an effect can only be selected once.

In other words, if Pegasus Special Summons this second entity, [Toon Dark Magician], its effect can still be activated, allowing him to Special Summon other Toon monsters from his Deck—as for the cost required to activate it? Hayato doesn't think Pegasus doesn't have any Toon cards left in his remaining two hands.

In other words, the results of choosing [Toon Dark Magician] and [Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon] are roughly the same; Pegasus can ultimately Special Summon a second entity, [Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragon].

As for the [Cartoon Cannon Soldier], this is a preemptive strike from the cartoon version, and it has the same effect as the [Cannon Soldier], making it a heavyweight contender.

"I'll choose the middle one." Since none of them were any good anyway, Hayato just picked one randomly.

Pegasus flipped over the card Hayato had chosen and smiled, "Good! Hayato, you chose this [Toon Dark Magician]. Special Summon it to my field regardless of the summoning conditions."

[Cartoon Dark Magician] [ATK2500]

Next, Pegasus revealed a card from his hand: "The effect of [Toon Dark Magician] does not have the one-turn-once restriction of the card name. Discard [Toon Terror] from my hand, activate the effect of [Toon Dark Magician], and Special Summon [Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon] desu~ from my Deck."

"Then, let's perform contact fusion again! Return two copies of [Toon Dark Magician] and [Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon] to my deck!"

"Second image: Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragon, Come-on~"

By uniting the monsters on the field, Pegasus Special Summoned the second Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragon. Even Kaiba had never done something like consecutively Special Summoning Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragons, but Pegasus easily accomplished this with his new Toon card.

In other words, he won the first turn. Otherwise, with the second turn, the threat posed by the two Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragons that could attack directly would be almost stronger than "Cyber ​​Stream," and he could easily impersonate an aggressive deck.

However, Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragon is not only a monster with a high attack power of 4500, but its effect is also very powerful.

“Just like the effects of [Cartoon Dark Magician] and [Blue-Eyes Cartoon Ultimate Dragon], there’s no one-turn-once restriction on the card name.” Pegasus pointed to the second [Blue-Eyes Cartoon Ultimate Dragon] on the field and said, “Add [Cartoon Terror] from my graveyard to my hand.”

This time, Pegasus didn't retrieve the Cartoon Catalog and then use it to search for any Cartoon cards; he only retrieved the original Cartoon family counter-trap card, Tricoloro.

Finally, Pegasus pulled out the last Toon buff card from his deck. "If Toon World is on my field, Special Summon this Demon Box from my hand."

The blank-card monster "Devil Box," created by fusing two "Clown" monsters, has also been included in this enhancement list and has officially become a member of Pegasus' new Cartoon Army.

He carries an extra scythe, yet his attack and defense capabilities remain unchanged from the original, leading one to wonder if the scythe is merely decorative.

As if understanding Hayato's meaning, the [Demon Box] that jumped out of Pegasus's hand suddenly fell down comically, its scythe spinning and flying up before hitting its own head, creating a comical effect reminiscent of a manga.

When the scythe, which had just been gleaming with a sharp light, struck the [Demon Box], it suddenly deflated and even started to leak air. The [Demon Box] hurriedly blew air into it, barely managing to repair what was actually a balloon disguised as a weapon.

"Follow-up effect of the Special Summon of [Demon Box]." Pegasus said, taking a Set card from his Deck and placing it in the back row, "Choose a [Toon] Trap from my Deck to add to my hand, or Set it on my field."

"Next, activate the effect of [Demon Box]. Once per turn, you can target one card in either player's Graveyard and return that card to the bottom of your Deck." Pegasus pointed to Hayato's Graveyard, "I'll return [Ghost Rabbit] from your Graveyard to the bottom of your Deck, Hayato~"

Finally, stamp one more card, then turn-end!

Despite the playful banter, Pegasus has never been weak. At most, he gets a few words of criticism from Kaiba, and he's still using outdated decks like Toon.

However, now that Pegasus has strengthened the deck with seven cards at once, and because it is a deck used by the designer himself, he clearly knows where the deck's weaknesses are. Pegasus's seven card enhancements are quite precise and effective, and the deck's strength has been greatly improved.

Unfortunately, Pegasus was trying hard to keep up with the times, but mastering Contact Fusion was already a stretch for him, let alone Synchro, not to mention Link Summoning, which even Hayato himself had no idea about—he hadn't figured out anything as practical as Xyz or Pendulum.

Pegasus's Toon Army, even Hayato has to admit, has become quite powerful, but it is ultimately just a "pure toon" deck.

However, just as Tear of the Goddess is very strong, and each card in the main family is excessively strong, but to dominate the environment, it cannot do without relying on cards from outside the system—such as "Earth Angel" and "Rhinoceros Horn Dragon"—the strength of a pure Tear of the Goddess is limited, and the same is true for a pure Toon version.

If Pegasus had the same "Dark Magician Executor" card as Yugi, he might have been able to use a series of activated spell cards to overwhelm himself with damage; or he could have included cards like "Purple Flame Spy" in his deck to transfer control of "Blue-Eyes Toon Ultimate Dragon" and use "Shadow Toon" to OTK himself.

However, these ideas were too advanced for Pegasus's mind, which was only active in the creative field and too rigid at other times.

Hayato placed his finger above the deck and said, "My turn—draw!"

The instant Hayato drew his card, Pegasus immediately declared, "Then, during Hayato's ready phase, I activate the second effect of the card on my back row, [Mind's Eye]—declare [Harpie's Feather Duster]!"

The "Forbidden Order," which can be activated once per turn, takes effect, and golden light shines into Hayato's hand, enveloping all five of his cards.

Because of the effect of "See Through the Mind," Hayato's hand is always exposed, even the "Harpie's Feather Duster" he just drew. Pegasus naturally declared the card's name immediately.

The golden light contracted and focused on [Harpie's Feather Duster], and a golden Ugato's Eye was stamped on the card like a steel stamp, signifying that the effects of this card and other cards with the same name are negated for this turn.

Hayato remained calm: "Although the effect of [Harpie's Feather Duster] has been negated, which is roughly equivalent to losing a card in my hand, I can just draw a few more cards, right?"

"I activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] and draw two cards from my deck."

Seeing Hayato play a card, Pegasus didn't let him draw a card: "Although saving this effect for later might be able to defend against Hayato's card attacks, if we use it now, then the subsequent attacks will be nonexistent."

"Counter Trap Card [Toon Terror] can only be activated when [Toon World] and Toon Monsters are on my field, or when a monster's effect, Spell Card, or Trap Card is activated."

Pegasus flipped open the back cover, holding a green cartoon book in his hands. "Let me narrate the horror of cartoons! Before this invincible cartoon army, Hayato, your [Pot of Greed] activation will be nullified and destroyed!"

Under the effect of [Cartoon Horror], [Pot of Greed] was destroyed before it could take effect, leaving Hayato with only four cards left in his hand. Among them, [Primal Life Form - Nibiru] was useless and [Harpie's Feather Duster] was also ineffective.

The remaining two cards—not worth mentioning!
Pegasus looked at Hayato and declared his victory: "I'll win, desu~" (End of Chapter)
